Hi all,

I am trying to remember the name this certain term/item but I just can't
think of it

Basically, it applies in construction when a hole/trench or similar is
dug and metal sheets are placed on the walls of the said hole to stop
the earth caving in?

Notwithstanding the other replies, I've always heard it called
shuttering.

Isn't shuttering where you use material (often wood) to effectively line a
hole and create a mould into which the concrete is poured? The shuttering
is later removed. The shuttering can also be above ground and sometimes
also "patterned" to produce a finish on the final concrete.
